It Takes Respect

In this day and age it’s no longer shocking to hear of an athlete who has strangled his coach or one who has been arrested for violence and drug use. One can drive down the street and see bumper stickers suggesting people “Question Authority” or “I don’t lie, cheat or steal unnecessarily”. Respect for authority in both professional sports and in society is at an all time low. In his book It Takes Respect, Aeneas Williams describes the biblical model for honoring and submitting to those in authority over us.
